Drop light cycle down to FORCE FINISH .... this late in flower it will just get them to finish a bit faster as it senses a winter like schedule.
Like 10/14 ...

Yeh they didn't get the best of starts it's my first ever grow so I think this slowed them down as my other two plants have only white pistals and look some time of being ready

Most “ estimates “ from breeders are just that. They base it on optimal controlled grows , but in most cases will run a bit longer depending on your grow environment... the only TRUE flowering stage is when stretching is over / stopped.
Most of my 8 week / 9 week strains turn out better at 10+.
Have had sativa dom autos push the 12 week time.

Believe it or not ... the ruderalis gene input to the strain , most times does NOT dominate the father / mother traits ....it was added for fast finish , compact growth BUT it sometimes throws a curve : different structures, early flower times ( had one pistil up at 22 days from seed ) , fast finish ( 60 day Wonder , dwarfs cuts ) , etc.
On the negative .... it’s a THIRD WHEEL mix ... sometimes it doesn’t EVEN auto ... it can perform like regular strain, tap out at transition, stunt , stall , mutated growth , weak crosses , etc.
However , today’s autos are much much better than say 15 years ago or so. There are great breeders coming from smaller farms and creating better beans .... hazeman , BOG , Mosca , Strayfox, and others. I say try some of those or greenpoint.
So they run as long as THEY NEED. Go with your gut on maturity ( plus your loupe .... lol ).
It’s like cooking .... ready when it’s ready.

Wow really. When I was buying them I went for the seeds with shortest time but they are all taking alot longer next time I'll go for seeds that are high yielding instead. Can you recommend any?
